      • Allow us to change the meeting reminder alert tone

        Currently, calendar reminder alerts only use a single alert tone. This is not configurable. It can either be turned on or off.

                  • please allow for custom reminder times in the calendar. going from 1 to 4 hours is far too big of a jump.

                    Add a custom setting so the user can pick how long ahead of time to be reminded for an event. I often need this to be set at odd times so I can allow for different driving times to be at my next appointment.

                        Creating a meeting invite on the phone is like shooting in the dark since I can't look at particpants free\busy information form exchange.

                        • Make reminders optional per calendar

                          I love having multiple calendars aggregated on my phone, but in some cases I don't need reminders to fire (e.g. I like seeing my wife's calendar, but I don't need to be reminded throughout the day of her activities)

                            • WP8: Different Calendar Live Tile Views.

                              Let the user customize the Live-Tile. For example:
                              1. Show the next X Appointments (textually)
                              2. Show Appointments within the current week (grafically)
                              3. Show Appointments withín the next X days (grafically)
                              4. Show a month-overview (without Appointments as there Live-Tiles isn't large enough), but with the current day and weekdays for all days of the month.

                              Let the user decide via Calendar-Settings which Live-Tile-View he prefers. :-)

                                  • Calendar improvements

                                    The calendar is lacking basic functionality that can be found in IOS, Android, Symbian and lower end "dumb"phones.

                                    Features needed:
                                    Customizable views: Weekly, monthly and even daily views.
                                    Week numbers should be supported.
                                    Calenders import/export functions.
                                    Live Tile should be able to show more appointments.
                                    Lock Screen Should be able to show more appointments.

                                    Third party apps can not access the calendar functions to make new entries and edit existing entries. So developers are basically not allowed to fix this.

                                    The existing monthly view is useless. No zoom option and no readable text.

                                    This needs to be fixed soon. My…

                                    • More reminder time selections

                                      I would like to see more selections between 1 hour and 18 hours, such as 90 minutes or even have scrolling hour/minute selection.
